In the title molecule, C18H18O4, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 52.52 (7)°. The C=C bond of the central enone group adopts a trans conformation. The relative conformation of the two double bonds in the enone group is s-transoid. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of weak C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
